REVIEW: Our Beloved Summer

This show captured the essence of youth: the playfulness of it, the pressure of doing well academically, the thrill of a first crush… It was tantalizing.

REVIEW: Itaewon Class

Park Seo-joon is one of the most handsome, finest men working in Korea today, yet they gave him a horrendously bad haircut for the entirety of this show. You have been warned.

Streaming Recommends – K-Drama

I created this list of incredibly binge-worthy K-drama shows currently available on Netflix and Amazon Prime! This group represents my recommendations of shows that I’ve personally seen. Happy Subtitles, and stay safe out there!

REVIEW: Love O2O [C-drama]

Had a lot of problems but not enough conflict. The subplot that I liked fizzled out in favor of making a main character look good. At least most of these folks are pretty to look at!

REVIEW: My First First Love

I thought their chemistry was lovely and easy. In fact, the whole drama was incredibly easy to sit through, which, as we all know, isn’t always the case.
